A Milwaukee police officer, who survived getting shot in the face at point-blank range, received a special retirement honor Tuesday.

Officers Graham Kunisch and Bryan Norberg were shot after trying to stop a man on his bike in Walker's Point in 2009.

Kunisch was shot in the face and lost an eye. Norberg was shot in the head.

Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council passed a resolution recognizing Kunisch's service after retiring in March.

"Just remember that there's been people on serving longer than I, and they've sacrificed every day not being with their families, so don't forget about those officers as well, so thank you," Kunisch said.
